| Giants TE's Jake Ballard, Travis Beckum Expected To Start 2012 On PUP List | | | New York Giant tight ends Travis Beckum and Jake Ballard both suffered torn ACLs against the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Giants general manager Jerry Reese anticipates both will be inactive for the start of the 2012 season according to Jorge Castillo of the Newark Star-Ledger. “I’m not a doctor, but from my perspective right now they’ll probably both be guys that’ll end up on PUP [physically unable to perform list] at the beginning of the season and see how healthy they are and how quickly they can recover from these injuries that they have,” Reese told reporters on a conference call today. If placed on PUP, they will both be inactive for at least the first six games of the season. After sitting out the six games, the team has three weeks to activate him. If he is not activated in that three-week window, he is placed on PUP for the remainder of the season. Source: The Redzone
